More than Anything

Hello, my name is Lance Clarion and I am currently a 4th year attending Hogwarts University. I am a humble butler to Mistress Philippa and I live to serve her. But please, I enjoy the company of others and would be honored to have any you as company.

-Stifles a snicker- Well, well. I apologise for my jargon, Lance, I didn’t consider someone… like yourself stumbling upon my quirky speech. Saucy in this context would be the same as scandalous, and unspliffy would be hm, uncool. 

What did you say, servant to the Clarion family? You didn’t mean Lukas, did yo- Oh, that’s right. Silly me, the Professor Clarion, correct?  

It’s good to hear you don’t drink, doll. Though it would be a total laugh to see what you’re like drunk. Personally, I tend to stray away from alcohol as well. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s not exactly a fan of mine. 

[lance-clarion-blog]

There is no need to apologize. A person's jargon is a person's jargon. I will keep note of that but please excuse me if I still ask questions to you. I apologize in advance about my incompetence. 

Ah, this Lukas as in Mistress Philippa's cousin? I do not serve him but I do know of him. Yes, Master Clarion is an impeccable man and generous as well. 

It would not be right, I am to set the example as the older Clarion servant. I would not want my sister to follow my example. If you do not mind me asking but I am rather curious, what did this alcohol do to you?

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Thank you! I love you Lancey pantsy. You’re the best brother ever. *takes his hand and they both apparate to the academy in which they grew up in. She looks up at the place with a smug smile.*

[lance-clarion-blog]

-His smile staggers as he takes her hand and the two find themselves in the place where they were raised. His expression turns grim at the thought.- Shall we? 

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Because she’s nothing more than a wench that bosses you around. Just fucking promise me, Lance. I don’t care if I soured the mood, you owe me one. I don’t want to hear the rest of it. Just promise me and take me out to ice cream. 

[lance-clarion-blog]

I-Fine. I will comply to your wishes this one time. I will not talk with Mistress Philippa for this week. Let's go. -Puts his hand out while waiting for her to grab it so that they can apparate the fuck out of the University.-

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

*Stops because hell no* What did you say? I thought that you said that you would slash could promise me anything if I asked for it. I haven’t asked for anything since we got here. So give me this. Don’t talk to your precious mistress for this week.

[lance-clarion-blog]

Why do you hate her so much that you wish me to stop talking to her? Why must you sour the mood by bringing up something like that? 

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Can we go to that place back near the academy? They had the best pizza and ice cream. Can you promise me something too? For the rest of the week, don’t talk with Philippa because I know something you don’t. Anyway let’s go! 

[lance-clarion-blog]

Of course, Elo. You always did love that place. I can promise you anythin-Oh. I don't know if I can promise you that. But yes, -puts his hand out for her to take it- 

[claretlacey-blog]

Ugh, gingersnaps. Has anyone seen a very angry - bezoomy mad scale angry - owl fluttering about? Quinet is very irritable, and she does bite, dollface, so if you do see her try not to approach her. Just let me know. Especially since she has my letters with her.

That aside, hope everyone’s feeling saucy and not too hungover, or anything equally unspliffy.

[lance-clarion-blog]

Ah, miss, I have not come across such a creature but in the event that I do, I will do as you instruct. I will try to refrain from subduing your owl. But if I am to do as you instruct, I request that I know your name. I will give you mine in exchange, I am Lance, servant of the Clarion family. 

What does this saucy mean? I do apologize for my incompetence but I do not understand what unspliffy means as well. However, I am not hungover since it would be setting a bad example for those around me if I drink.

And just like that, another week of school has ended.

[ofcjaxon-blog]

No, please, don’t…you don’t have to take credit for it, it’s…it’s alright, quite alright, yes. Just…don’t let him happen again, alright, Lance? And don’t be too hard on yourself.

And I, you, Lance, but you do know that, already, don’t you? Oh, I have missed you too! And quite dearly at that. I’ve always missed talking to you, since you are, in fact, my closest friend. I don’t see why they would say you weren’t, since academics seem to come so naturally to you, you’re so intelligent. Hm, yes, it is quite different from Beauxbatons’ load, isn’t it? Or perhaps I’m just not used to having coursework, hm, it could be either. 

Oh, that’s lovely of you, Lance, really, but do focus on yourself more, you’ve earned breaks, here and there. And don’t forget, you have coursework too, you shouldn’t spend all your time on me. -sighs, smiling softly up at him- You’re so selfless, you are.

[lance-clarion-blog]

As you wish, Mistress Philippa. 

Yes, closet friend, I am pleased to know that I am your closet friend. Only a friend. Ah, Mistress Philippa, you are too kind to me. It is, at least, from what I've observed from. I hope it is not too stressful for you but if so, I will gladly help you in the ways that I can though I am limited. 

I can manage fine. You, are my primary concern though so please do not hesitate to ask me for any type of help. I am not selfless, I would say I am selfish for spending time with you. I am fulfilling the duty I must fulfill. 

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Do you mean that? Okay. You can take me to ice cream and then I want a pretty dress and some potions and…actually. Can we just get the ice cream and talk for a bit? 

[lance-clarion-blog]

Of course, Elo. You are my little sister, I am here for you whenever you are in need of me. Where shall we go? Shall I apparate us to a more familiar setting? 

[ofcjaxon-blog]

And just like that, another week of school has ended.

[ofcjaxon-blog]

I—ah- are you sure? I mean, I, um…oh, never mind me, Lance, perhaps you’re right.

Thank you, Lance, I know I can always count on you. Oh, but enough about my own well-being, tell me, how have you been? Certainly, you’ve been brilliant in class, since you’re one of the smartest people I know. It’d please me to know how you’re doing.

[lance-clarion-blog]

I apologize for the misunderstanding Mistress Philippa. I will take full credit for making you believe I would make such an inappropriate comment. 

I will always be here for you Mistress Philippa. Only a few words away. I have been fine though I have missed your company as of late. I do believe I am doing well however that will be unknown until the Professor informs me otherwise. I never realized being a school would be this much work however. It caught me off guard and it only makes me want to take care of you through the stress you must be going through, Mistress Philippa. 

[thelionbraun]

School is just kicking me in the butt.

All this homework is going to drive me crazy. That was one thing I didn’t miss at all about school, and yet here I am, doing homework. I’m thinking about maybe blowing off my afternoon classes, and just walking around campus. But hey, we survived this long right? 

[lance-clarion-blog]

I do not think it is wise for you to not attend your classes because then perhaps you will be even further behind homework. Though it is not pleasant, it helps our education, yes? I may be wrong though, in which case, please forgive me. I have not attended a school prior to this one. 

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Don’t make me laugh. All you’ve been doing is pampering that little princess of yours. Do you know how I’m doing in class? When was the last time we actually had a conversation? 

[lance-clarion-blog]

I have not seen Mistress Philippa until recently. I have been on some other business, please Eloise do not do anything to anger people. Alright, what do you want to do? Do you want me to get ice cream for you? We could spend some time together since it seems like you missed your older brother. 

[ofcjaxon-blog]

And just like that, another week of school has ended.

[ofcjaxon-blog]

I—ah-I’m sorry? I don’t think I quite caught that. Did you…you call me adorable?Oh, of course I am, Lance! Save the late nights I’ve had to spend with Eloise - she stole my journal a few days prior, did she tell you? - University has been absolutely splendid! And I couldn’t be happier that you’re here with me.

[lance-clarion-blog]

I-I didn't-I didn't say that. I apologize Mistress Philippa, you must have misheard me. Did she? I will talk to her about her actions, you have nothing to worry about. I am pleased that I am here with you too. It pleases me to know that you are doing well. 

[ofcjaxon-blog]

And just like that, another week of school has ended.

I can’t believe it’s been nearly a month since I’ve arrived at the University, I’ve already learned so much!

[lance-clarion-blog]

That's quite an adorable observation, Mistress Philippa. Are you enjoying University so far, Mistress Philippa? 

[eloise-clarion]

If I were you, I wouldn't take a shower tonight, or tomorrow really

[eloise-clarion]

Nice to know you still care about me, brother. You remembered my name!

[lance-clarion-blog]

Eloise, what kind of statement are you making? You are my sister, of course I care about your well being. 

[ughjaejoong]

[libby-connors]

I don't ever want to leave my room!

[libby-connors]

Do you like Mistress Philippa? Because if you like her then I guess it can’t be too bad?

I can only imagine, although i’m sure it will get better the longer you are here! I’ve always wanted to do it. Since I was a little girl. I was thrown into a position where I had to look after a loved one and I suppose that was what made the decision. 

[lance-clarion-blog]

Like her? I adore Mistress Philippa and I enjoy serving her with my whole being. She is the reason for everything. 

I hope so. I am slowly adjusting but I guess that is for the best. What kind of situation was that? Ah, it must be rude of me to ask. I apologize. 

[libby-connors]

I don't ever want to leave my room!

[libby-connors]

You’re not just a ‘mere servant’ Lance. I’m sure you’re much more than just that! 

It is quite good here isn’t it! My classes? They’re just great! I think I’m doing alright. But then, what I think and what is actually true can be two completely different things at times.

[lance-clarion-blog]

Oh no, but I am. I am the humble servant to Mistress Philippa and I will be so for the rest of my life. 

It is. I must say I'm intimidated by the rest of the students that are here. I am sure you are doing well. Why did you choose to become a mediwitch? I hear it is a rigorous career.
